A NADRA Juvenile Card (JV) is an official, chip-based Smart Identity Card issued to Pakistani citizens who are under 18 years of age. Unlike the Child Registration Certificate (CRC or B-Form), which is a standard paper document, the Juvenile Card functions as a physical ID featuring the child’s photograph and a secure microchip. This card makes it easier to verify a minor’s identity for educational purposes, travel, and accessing various government or banking services.
Eligibility Criteria & Required Documents
To be eligible for a Juvenile Card, the applicant must be a Pakistani citizen strictly below the age of 18. Once the individual turns 18, the Juvenile Card is no longer applicable and they must apply for a standard adult Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC).
The documentation required depends on whether the child already possesses a B-Form:
- If the child has a CRC/B-Form: You must provide the original CRC, a valid CNIC of the accompanying parent or blood relative, and the parent/guardian’s biometric verification.
- If the child does not have a CRC: You need to present a computerized birth certificate or a school certificate. You will also need the CNIC of the present parent or guardian, along with their biometric verification.
